Current AI playground: a few projects I’m building
Lately I’ve been in full experiment mode — bouncing between Claude, Codex, Cursor, Antigravity, Conductor, Ollama, Grok, and Xcode's new coding intelligence to see what actually helps me ship.
- lucaslongo.com — rebuilding my site/blog into a lighter AI-assisted setup, and using it as a playground for agent-powered editing and chat. Site
- DriLux — a local-first tool for generating short AI video stories from a few beats and scenes.
- YNAB workflow — syncing budget data, scraping Amazon orders, and using AI to help match and categorize purchases.
- adrianacarioba.com — a static capture + redesign workflow for a public site, with AI helping on structure, cleanup, and visual direction. Repo
- textures.design — a simple refreshed marketing site for a design studio, keeping the stack small and easy to maintain. Repo
Current workflow:
- OpenClaw for planning, drafting, repo spelunking, and quick edits across projects.
- Codex for implementation passes, refactors, and shipping code faster.
- Claude, Cursor, Antigravity, Conductor, and Grok for alternative takes, debugging, UI cleanup, and comparing how different tools think.
- Ollama for local model experiments when I want to keep things on-device.
- Git as the backbone: I make changes locally, commit, push to
main, and a GitHub Action pushes the site to my FTP host. For tiny tweaks, I also keep a direct FTP sync handy.
I’m less interested in finding one perfect AI tool than in learning the strengths of each one — and combining them into a workflow that actually feels useful.
